Life on the Box – Living, Loving, Laughing….

I am linking up with Cee’s Life Photography this week for a little Share Your World.

Here are the questions for the week.

Crunchy Peanut Butter or Smooth?

I will take smooth over crunchy any day.

There is something about that creamy dreamy spread that is just scrumptious. I would say lip-smacking, but you know it always seems like the peanut buttery smack gets stuck to the roof of my mouth. Heh.

Is there a job you interviewed for and didn’t get that would have totally changed your life as it is now? Please explain.

In 1990, I made the cut from over 500 qualified personnel to one of about ten people hired from a mass job fair in Houston, Texas as an Eastern Airlines flight attendant. Yeah. Shocked me too. Me, all of eighteen years old, with zero experience. Maybe, I was just young enough to be trained well.

Coffee?

Peanuts?

As much as flying the friendly skies was a dream come true. It did not happen after all. The Eastern Flight attendants went off strike and all the new hires were put on a waiting list – like forever. Then, Eastern went bankrupt. Yay, me.

It’s hard for me to imagine that life. A flight attendant living in New York. Wow.

I became a travel agent instead since all the other airlines only hired 21-year olds, and I had to find something travel related until I came of age.

Guess what I still am?

What’s the most interesting “Ice Breaker” Question you have ever been asked? (This one is selfish, I’m always looking for more questions.)

Ohhhh! I have a good one for this. I am so terrible at really interesting questions. I bought a book.

I thought it might help me stray away from the….Where are you from? How many siblings? Where did you go to school?

Well…..not so much. Come to find out, I love the boring questions, but this is a great book!

Just for fun, I turned to a random page, and this is what I got.

If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do?

Oh yeah, this book is loaded with stuff like that.

If you had the choice between an RV, a sports car, an SUV, or a bicycle, which would you choose and why?

That’s easy. I’ll take an RV, and one that is not too big. I want to be able to get up in the mountains to those really cool parks only smaller type vehicles can get to. Explore with no limits.

But mostly, I want to travel Highway 1, up and down the coast of California. I am kinda sorta (ALOT) in love with the view.

Wouldn’t you be?

Oh, he wasn’t always a cross dresser. Once, he lived a normal life in a cellophane package on the grounds of Graceland. Until one day, purchased and bagged, he ended up here – Magnet Fridge City. Land of the collectible seductive metal, instead of gracing Graceland, he graced the icebox.

It’s not really his fault. Wardrobe on the box is limited. Just ask his friend, Blue Suede M&M.

“That’s Alright”

When Elvis met Marilyn, he not only stole her heart, he stole her pants.

And can you blame the guy? She had a rockin’ attire. Wasn’t it obvious she came from Vegas the city of glitz? Always cool. Dressed in her finest gown. Crooning and laughing her throaty laugh. She didn’t mind.

They all wanted to be like her. Even the dog lived the sweet life.

“Hound Dog”

Their biggest fear? To be left behind. Forgotten. Unused. Undressed.
What if no one changed their bra, their pants, their shoes, their crown? What if they ended up [gasp!] naked?
Or worse , on the side of a filing cabinet. It wasn’t an easy life, but it was their life. Being together – the most important thing.

But all good things must come to an end. The day came when their clothes were scraped off. One by one, from head to toe, they peeled forward. Handled delicately they were placed unattached in a cardboard box. Clothes tossed in a pile like dirty laundry.

“All shook up”

The horror! They were moving. Where would they end up? Who would be in what dress? The uncertainty struck fear deep in their magnet core.

As the box lid slides to a close. Marilyn beams her bedroom eyes, and Elvis grins his star-lit smile. Someday soon, they will rise again to great glory of cold food storage, and great inter-changeable fashion.

Coming soon to a fridge near you (uh-Jason).
